What To Look For In a Conference Venue?

April 23, 2016

Are you looking to choose a conference venue for
your next corporate event? There’s a lot to bear in mind when choosing
your venue, not only for yourself but also your delegates. Whether
you’re hosting a small meeting or a large corporate day, there are a
number of elements to consider:

Good Transport Links

What’s the point in booking a conference venue if your delegates
can’t get to it?! A good conferencing centre is close to a number of
transport links, not just a motorway. Take Nailcote Hall for example,
a conference venue in Birmingham, we’re
close to the M6 and M42, but also Birmingham International Train
Station and Birmingham Airport: allowing UK and International based
conferences to attend.

Venue Size

It’s cliche but size does matter. You want your delegates to feel
comfortable during the conference and ensure that for a conference of
size, the venue has the facilities to accommodate a number of people.
Look at the finer details such as the number of toilets, seating and
parking when making your decision.

Entertainment Options

They say that most business is done outside the boardroom, making
entertainment options at your conference venue just as important as the
conference itself. Not all delegates want to leave straight after the
conference, so the more options you give them for other activities the
better. For that, Nailcote Hall is the perfect Conference Venue. We
have the Cromwell Golf Course, leisure facilities and the stunning food
of the Oak Room.

Venue Location

Location, location, location! City centre Conference venues tend to
have the best travel links, however they’re noisy, busy and often lack
parking. Getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city could be
just what your delegates need: picturesque views, peace and quiet and a
tranquil setting - there’s less distraction too, meaning that the entire
focus will be on your event.

Venue Staff & Care

You want to ensure that your delegates are cared for during the
conference, so ask the conference venue about the staff and conference
facilities on hand. Can they cater for food allergies &
intolerances? Do they provide notepads and pens for delegates? These
little tweaks can make all the difference to the enjoyment of the day.

Venue Hire Price

Finally, you want to ensure that you’re getting value for money at
your conference venue, as after all you want to ensure you get return on
investment from the delegates. Our prices start from as little as £35
and include all mentioned above.
